Highly Recommended Investment Opportunities in Bacolod

Bacolod is a highly urbanized city on the northwest coast of Negros Island in the Philippines. It is part of the Bacolod Metropolitan Area, which also includes the cities of Silay and Talisay.

With the investment uptrend in Negros Occidental in recent years, which is expected to continue in 2019 and even beyond, it’s no surprise that Bacolod is becoming an attractive city to invest in. Some investments from the property giants Ayala Land, Inc. and Megaworld Corp., along with Bacolod Real Estate Development Corp.’s opening of its new passenger terminal, SM Prime Holdings Inc.’s hotel development, and the start of economic highway construction in the province [src], make the City of Smiles a fertile ground for more investors.

If you are looking for income opportunities in rental real estate, here are some highly recommended properties:
